At least six people have died and 20 girls attending a summer camp were reported missing in Texas after heavy rain caused flash flooding.

A month’s worth of heavy rain fell on the US state in a matter of hours on Friday, leaving search teams to conduct boat and helicopter rescues in the fast-moving water.
